It's really simple F.Why do we suppose there was eternal life there in the first place?
John 10.28-29:
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."
God Father gave to Jesus the saved persons for safe-keeping.
What made them be saved..or "elected" or "chosen", which is what elected means.?
They accepted God's terms.
They believed in God/Jesus and thus had faith in God and for that faith they were saved. Freely. Only by their faith.
Nothing can pluck them out of God's hand....
but can we walk out?
Do we have FREE WILL OR NOT?
What do you believe?
